Fetch Contacts from google

Question

I used google api to fetch contacts of google account. The code that I used is http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/browse/trunk/examples/contacts/simple.php

But when I run the code by applying my credential, it gives me the contacts but just their name. I want the contacts email address.

Answer 1

I always use this to fetch gmail contacts.

Hope you will like this too.

It authenticates the user on our own end, doesn't send user to authenticate to gmail.

Just give it a try.

Here's the download link.

You can find how to fetch emails on this link, the problem was on the example code. This is part of the code refered in the link.

    $req = new \apiHttpRequest("https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?max-results=9999");
    $val = $client->getIo()->authenticatedRequest($req);

    $xml = new \SimpleXMLElement($val->getResponseBody());
    $xml->registerXPathNamespace('gd', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005');
    $result = $xml->xpath('//gd:email');

    foreach($result as $title)
    {
            $emails[] = $title->attributes()->address;
    }
